Bob had been down on his luck for several months, and one night as a last resort, he turned to prayer.
He knelt at the foot of his bed, clasped his hands and prayed.
"Please Lord. I've been a good man, helped others when I was able. PLEASE Lord, let me win the lottery Saturday night,"
Bob watched tv that Saturday as the numbers came up.
NOTHING!
The following evening, and every evening up to and including Friday before going to bed, he prayed.
"Please Lord. I've still been a good man, I've helped others when I can, I donated blood when there was an emergency last week as soon as they asked for donors.
PLEASE Lord. Let me win the lottery this Saturday night!"
Once again, Bob watched his tv Saturday as the numbers came up, and once again,
NOTHING.
After the numbers had been announced, Bob wailed.
"God. You're a fraud! I've been as good a man as I can be. I've prayed to you every night, I've abided by the 10 Commandments, I've tried to be the best possible person I can be, And you don't seem to be listening to me!"
All at once, his room was bathed in a white heavenly light and an exasperated booming voice exclaimed,
"Bob! I HAVE heard you. But you need to meet me half way here,
BUY A TICKET!"
